Abstract

Intramammary manifestation of lymphoproliferative disease is rare. The radiological evaluation follows in most cases the clinical suspicion and therefore the radiologist takes an important place in diagnostics. The aim of this work is to demonstrate typical radiological patterns of this rare entity with multimodal cases and to sensitize for it. The differential diagnosis to other breast tumors, especially primary breast carcinoma, can be radiologically difficult, so the suspicious lesion must be histologically verified by biopsy.

Keywords: Breast diagnostics; Imaging results; Magnet resonance imaging; Mammography; Ultrasound.
